GST UPDATE & COMPLIANCE NOTIFICATION

Notification 9/2025‑Central Tax (Rate)

(issued 17 September 2025, effective 22 September 2025)

 

Bata India Limited hereby informs all customers that we are fully compliant with the revised GST framework issued under GST Notification No. 09/2025–Central Tax (Rate), effective from 22nd September 2025, and Bata has implemented all required updates across its nationwide operations, including offline stores, online platforms, franchise networks, warehouses, and supply chain systems.

 

Under the updated GST structure, specific footwear and selected non-footwear categories such as apparel, socks, handkerchiefs, and certain retail products priced up to Rs. 2500 are now eligible for a reduced 5% GST rate.

 

Only eligible footwear and selected non-footwear products priced below Rs.2500 have undergone MRP revision pursuant to GST Notification No. 09/2025-Central Tax (Rate). The revised GST rates are now being uniformly applied across all Bata stores and online channels from 22nd September 2025.

 

To maintain transparency for consumers, Bata has updated its website Terms & Conditions, ensured inclusion of revised MRP details (reflecting both old and new prices) on invoices, and placed clear in-store placards explaining GST-related price benefits.

 

Returns for goods purchased prior to the rate change will continue to be refunded at the GST rate originally applicable at the time of purchase, as GST amendments do not apply retrospectively.

 

Bata reiterates its commitment to transparency, regulatory compliance, and ensuring the best value for our customers. In case of any query, please reach out to us on the following Website Bata.in and Helpline No. 72899 00000.
